Hello Bill,
I have found this small nudi which I had never seen and I would like some help to identify it.
Locality: Baixa do Sul, Canal Faial-Pico, Azores Islands, 16 meters, Azores islands, Portugal, Atlantic Ocean, 24 July 2007, rocky bottom covered with algae. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: David Abecasis.
Best regards,
David Abecasis

Dear David,
This is not a nudibranch, but it is an opisthobranch - Tylodina perversa. As you will see from earlier messages it belongs to a primitive group with a large limpet-like external shell.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
